Blueyedlion Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) This is speculation on my part, though i believe this because this is where the hormones are triggered in the body. This is where emotions come to rest. They rest in the head, so they can be analyzed. They may be created throughout the entire body, but I feel that they come to the head to rest so that the thoughts can define why you feel this way, to absorb the status or the structure of the body and because the emotions come here and the thoughts are generated here and our belief systems lie here and our hormones are directed from here and, because we don’t fully understand how the brain functions, we’re not capable of rewiring it for optimum health. Would anyone care to speculate on this further? Edited December 10, 2018 by Blueyedlion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zapatos Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Does this mean that someone who is "brain dead" and on life support is not at risk of getting athlete's foot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you need the neurons in your brain to 'regulate' the rest of your body....If a piano falls on your leg then you probably break a leg. You need the neurons in your brain to translate the information into pain and to heal the broken leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely. Obviously. But it is not a requirement. And what about lower immune response starting in the head? Does leukaemia (a disease of bone marrow) start in the head?

What i would say to clarify my position, is that both emotional and mental stress throughout the body create these issues in the head, where these issues then become triggered into diseases.

Therefore body can't fight with microbes and viruses as efficiently as normally. Mental disease like depression, heart attack, or stroke, can be direct result of stressful situation, without additional influence of microbes.

Prometheus Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 It's sometimes useful to distinguish between necessary and sufficient causes of disease. So we'd say Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a necessary cause to contracting TB, but it's not a sufficient cause because, for instance, the number of bacteria might too small to overcome the host's immune response. Mental components are neither necessary nor sufficient for physical diseases to occur so the answer is no, all diseases do not start in the head. Which is not to say that one's state of mind isn't a factor, but you can't get TB without the bacteria no matter how hard you think about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
